The boy from Tangerang, a satellite city west of the capital Jakarta, stayed in hospital for just half a day last Saturday, said Sardikin Giriputro, [...]

Yet another Bird-Flu victim in Indoneisa

Yet another Indonesian Child infected with Bird-Flu.
There it is again.
That drip drip of this slow motion pandemic.
The bestseller Science Fiction novel Dune, by Frank Herbert, features a personal shield that can protect a warrior against all weapons.
There is one weakness in that shield however.
If a weapon is wielded very slowly, it can get past the shield and [...]

Apologies to Crof the Prof for the UN Bird-Flu story.
I apologize to Professor Kilian, if my comments in my last post, “Political Correctness from the UN Bird-Flu Boss?” were in any way taken as suggesting the “bombing of Indonesia”.
I have spent may years in Indonesia and around that region and love all of it.
Well, almost all of it.
There have been some very radical [...]

In an example of political correctness gone mad, the UN’s top official on bird flu has praised heightened levels of transparency in Asian countries over cases of the disease!
“To have information promptly is the ultimate goal,” said David Nabarro, the UN’s senior system coordinator for avian and human influenza.”We believe that just about every country is giving us that [...]

It is as if we are watching a pandemic in slow motion.
What we have right now is not the “normal viral Pandemic mode”, resulting in a large number of human fatalities, during a limited period of time.
Instead, there has been a regular drip drip of people dying of the virus almost every week, over the last 4 years or so.
Every [...]

So we all have a choice.
Keep buying “cheap” factory farmed chickens, turkeys and other un-naturally grown animals (a la Bernard Matthews) and we will get a constant flow of killer viruses coming to get us.

Or we could buy our food from small farm holdings, using the traditional way of farming.
We may pay a tiny bit [...]

The Riau province on the Indonesian island of Sumatra seems to be the new Bird-Flu-central in the virus inflicted Indonesia.
Last night (October 20, 2007) a 10 year old girl suspected of having bird flu died at the Arifin Achmad hospital in Riau province.

A study conducted at St Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, on the effects of the H5N1 avian influenza virus on small land birds, suggests that the virus is often lethal in sparrows but has lesser effects on starlings and pigeons and does not readily spread to other birds of the same species.
However, the researchers say their [...]

Bird Flu is a scary virus and I hope that we will be able to find ways to protect our selves, when (and if) it starts spreading amongst humans.
But a virus does not have to be scary to be a killer.
The not-very-scary “common” influenza virus kills tens of thousands of people (specially old people) all [...]

Vaccines are a Billion Dollar global business.
It is obvious therefore, that all kinds of interests, other than just those interested in the health care of the public would get involved in the production, legalization and the distribution of vaccines.

We can never really be sure of the status of the Bird Flu virus in Indonesia, due to the increasingly draconian suppression of the news related to the spread of the H5N1 virus, in that country.
However, we do have some news related to the Bird-Flu virus from Indonesia today.
We are told that an Indonesian woman suspected of being infected with [...]
